I waved my hands in panic at that absolutely crazy sound.
"Poison? How could I, Your Majesty's loyal subject, do that?"
But the emperor's twisted mind was not easy to sway.
"Poisoning usually comes from the person closest to you."
I wanted to say, since when have we been so close? But if I said that, he'd come up with another twisted remark.
Is that all there is between us?
'It's so hard to deal with him.'
Well, isn't that obvious?
If it weren't for that crazy eloquence, he wouldn't have been able to win the political battle with the nobles.
But why is he using that on me?
'I have to get out of this situation as fast as possible.'
I racked my brain trying to figure out a way, but the more I thought, the more anxious I became, and no real solution came to mind.
Just when it seemed hopeless, Adit spoke up while examining the teacup and tea leaves.
"There is no problem, Your Majesty."
